Protective Clothing Standards

2015-07-01 09:55 | writer: admin

Protective clothing for industry has numerous standards. This listing includes those standards applicable to chemical protective clothing and hot work, protection from cuts, and molten metal as well as other types of hazards. They provide guidance for selection, use, proper care, and maintenance. There are so many standards for protective clothing, they can't all be listed here. Specialized standards for protective clothing in agriculture, violent situations, medical use, and standards for protective clothing manufacturers are not listed here.

Use the search by document number or keyword to find other standards particular to your needs. DIN, ON, BSI and others may have standards similar to the ones shown here that may apply to your situation.

The purpose of this guide is to provide a recommended list of both liquid and gaseous chemicals for evaluating protective clothing materials in testing programs

ASTM F1002-06

Standard Performance Specification for Protective Clothing for Use by Workers Exposed to Specific Molten Substances and Related Thermal Hazards

This performance specification covers textile materials to be used for protective clothing. Materials used for both primary protection and for secondary protection are covered. Protective properties relate to contact with molten substances and hot surfaces, and exposure to open flame and radiant heat. This performance specification covers clothing design characteristics that relate to the unique protective requirements of working with molten substances.This performance specification describes the properties of specific textile materials in their fabric or garment composite form as tested by laboratory methods and is not intended to be used to appraise the thermal hazard or fire risk under actual conditions.
